AOC: "... and it actually is the Trans-Pacific Partnership. It is our global alliances that can be a hard stop against authoritarian consolidation of power, particularly in the installation of regional puppet governments."

AOC: "...they are looking to withdraw the US from the entire world so that we can turn into an age of authoritarianism, of authoritarians that can carve out the world, where Donald Trump can command the Western Hemisphere and Latin America as his personal sandbox...

Arnold Schwarzenegger eviscerated Trump for his pathetic submission to Putin — and he’s right. “Mr. President Trump, you stood there like a little white noodle, like a fanboy.” While Ukraine is invaded, its people slaughtered, Trump grovels before a dictator. That isn’t leadership. It’s betrayal.

So the pro-Russian narrative is: Thankfully the SMO can continue and the death and destruction is on Ukraine and Europe.

Each time the world reaches out, Putin answers with missiles. Russia’s escalating attacks on Kyiv show that Moscow doesn’t want peace. Air defence systems and missiles are scarce everywhere. But Ukraine needs them now, every single day, to protect its people.

Kirk only "wins" debates when his audience allow him to bark all over his opponents. Certainly not on merit. Clown. Well done, Cambridge!!!

As a white South African these lies are disgusting. I thank our president and countrymen, even Trump's own friends, to call these false claims out so well. All that Trump has done for SA is create and deepen division.

Just reporting what Trump does is not journalism. Reporting on the true destructive effects of what Trump does would be journalism.

Trump, Musk, Carlson, Bannon, Jinping, Un would all have loved to attend too. My post is slightly vague hehe.

It's about messaging and connecting with the average voter instead of talking over their heads or making the average voter feel that their needs are not being considered. Sadly MAGA gets away with destroying the US and increasing the cost of living because their base loves their anti-woke messaging

Another ecellent video to share with conservative friends. Unfortunately many of the Carlson followers are too far gone but we will keep trying anyway.

Jacques Pretorius @jacpret.bsky.social · 29/04/2025
So we already know that MAGA will weaponise AI. They may be a bit confused to have Leon Musk as an ally, but that could polarise the issue to suit Musk, if Musk survives in MAGA Land.

I am convinced Harris' approval rating would've gone up in the first 100 days. Grocery prices would've been lower, housing issues getting attention, Putin would not be appeased, and trading partners and allies relationships would've been stronger.

All pupils need to be taught how to navigate social media bubbles. We should always be motivated to find truth and avoid being duped. Misinformation, disinformation and mal-information harms us and our societies.

I am a straight white male that understands that biologically we are all unique in different ways and that is not a sin, in fact it's something to be proud of. If all Christians did the research into their religion they would agree. It's the weak and uninformed that is less tolerant.

Inflation plus fascism is even worse... High inflation is coming: on-off tariffs, destroyed trust in US Treasury Bonds, and remember Trump wants to control and push down the interest rate, all inflation-inducers.
